B4J Code Snippet [ABMaterial] Universal page for application settings.

Hello.

I would like to introduce the Settings module that I wrote and use for most of my client applications. The module is ready to be connected to your ABMaterial application and very easy to use.
In the main directory of the application (or wherever you want) create a configuration file. I have config.txt. Text file because it can be easily edited from the server console or any notebook. Based on this file, a page with our application settings is generated with full support for changing parameters.
Available types of variables: text, number, email, password, data, combo,checkbox.

The structure of the config

## Server parameters <-Name of the settings group
#Service name;text <- Description of the text (;text) type setting
APPNAME = set <-variable name and saved value
#Server adress; text
SERVERNAME = localhost
#Port http; int <-Description of the variable visible to the user of the number type (; int)
PORT = 80
#Port SSL; int
PORTSSL = 443
#Should the server use SSL; bool <-type checkbox
SSL = 0

#Color;combo (red, blue, green) <-Combo use
TITLECOLOR=red

These are the ones I use for the first time in my applications. We need 2 declarations in Main.

    Public config As Map
    Public FileConfig As String = "config.txt"

and reading variables from a file in AppStart

    If File.Exists(File.DirApp, FileConfig) Then
        config= File.ReadMap(File.DirApp, FileConfig)
    Else
        Log("config file not found")
        ExitApplication2(1)
    End If

Calling the variables from any other page is done, for example

    theme.Label("red").ForeColor=ABM.COLOR_RED
    theme.AddLabelTheme("blue")
    theme.Label("blue").ForeColor=ABM.COLOR_BLUE
    theme.AddLabelTheme("green")
    theme.Label("green").ForeColor=ABM.COLOR_GREEN
    Dim title As ABMLabel
    title.Initialize(page, "title", Main.config.Get("TITLETEXT"), Main.config.Get("TITLESIZE"),True,Main.config.Get("TITLECOLOR"))
   
    page.Cell(2,1).AddComponent(title)
   
    Dim labssl As ABMLabel
    labssl.Initialize(page, "ssl", "",ABM.SIZE_H3,False,"")
    If Main.config.Get("SSL") = "1" Then
        labssl.Text = "Use HTTPS on the server"
    Else
        labssl.Text = "Use only HTTP on the server"
    End If
    page.Cell(3,1).AddComponent(labssl)
   
    Dim calendar As ABMCalendar
    calendar.Initialize(page, "cal", Main.config.Get("DATA"), ABM.FIRSTDAYOFWEEK_MONDAY,"en",ABM.CALENDAR_DEFAULTVIEW_MONTH,"")
    page.Cell(4,1).AddComponent(calendar)

Includes a complete demo of using the settings page with the module source.
Maybe someone will find it useful, it makes it easier in many cases.
